Architectural Technologist – Piano stairs

I found this recently, its….. well its novel, the stairs have been converted over night to look and get this sound like a piano.

Piano Stairs is part of a Volkswagen viral video marketing campaign called “The Fun Theory.” Their theory? “Fun can change behavior for the better.” They set-forth to prove their theory by turning plain, old stairs into a fully functioning keyboard and filming the public’s reaction to it. Not only is the video an interesting approach to creating social change, but it’s fun to watch, as well.

Follow the link to youtube and watch the other like minded videos as well….. ! the bin is just cool
